Re: Missing elevation brushes in Map Editor

So I've got exactly the same problem,but the action manager error was not solved when I downloaded and added the editor.scd to game data folder, while the lua file missing error was solved.

Can you help.

Back up your file and try to replace it with the following one :

Yep that solved the problem - great thanks!

In fact there was simply no editor.scd file in that folder in the first place - so I didnt have to back up a copy. Looks like those morons forgot to include it in the game version.

I think it would be good to post this solution somewhere easy to find.

Since I already have mine working, we just have to wait for Bhaal to test this one out. If it works, then I'll ask ubergeek to upload the file as an attachment to one of the general "help" threads.

Probably.

I also don't have enough knowledge to find out where these files should be. I would expect them to be in the bin folder judging by the lack of a proper path (same folder as the map editor exe) but there's barely anything there.

So we can agree that GpG is completely retarded to release the steam version with missing files lol.

Could you open the map editor again (with your supcom version being the steam version) and get the log screen up (should be in the "view" tab), you might get some hints with an error text somewhere...

Also, this patch might work but unfortunately the start version is 1.1.3189 (and we're trying to patch a steam thing without steam):

No, I didn't. I bought SupCom when it was released and I had downloaded the map editor from GPGNet. I also can't remember if that just was an .exe that was downloaded or something else.

I have no elevation brushes there. There is only white, means its empty list.
I have used the editor before, but not with the steam version of supcom.

There are threads on steam forum too.
Did you download supcom from steam and it works for you?

Steam might have a different version, I have to check later.
